Who We Are

Mission
Friends of Avon Lake Public Library supports and promotes the Library through fundraising and programming, enriching the life of the community.
Friends of Avon Lake Public Library is a member-supported nonprofit organization that advocates, fundraises and provides support for the Library. We provide the community with opportunities to invest in the success of the Library by donating funds or by donating time through volunteering.
Friends of Avon Lake Public Library is what our name implies - a collection of committed, caring individuals who share a common vision of excellence for our public library.
The Friends Board meets the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm at the Library. A membership meeting is held annually in late August.

Programs
Rain Barrel Demonstration
Jun 12, 2012 - 7:00 pm To Jun 12, 2012 - 7:45 pm
Description :
A rain barrel is an old-fashioned yet effective and low-cost way to conserve water and save money. One inch of rain on a 1,000 square foot roof yields 623 gallons of naturally soft water, devoid of minerals, chlorine, fluoride and other chemicals. Use of this water in your landscape in times of reduced rainfall can improve the health of your plants. The City of Avon Lake offers rain barrels and installation kits for only $20. City Engineer Joe Reitz will be here to demonstrate how to install the barrels. No registration is required but kits may be preordered by Friday, June 8 for pick-up at the program. Preorder at the Circulation desk or simply come to the program to find out if a rain barrel is a good choice for you.
